Town of Princeton Council meets on October 25th to discuss various projects and bylaws.
Quick view
What comes next
- The next steps will depend on the decisions made by the council during the meeting. If the council awards contracts for the equipment purchases, the next step will be to finalize the contracts and begin the implementation process.
Stakes & interests
The purchase of an electric ice resurfacer is expected to improve the energy efficiency of the Princeton Arena and reduce the town's carbon footprint.
The adoption of the bylaw amendment would rescind permissive tax exemptions for certain properties and grant new exemptions to others, which could have implications for local businesses and organizations.
